Influence of Wearing Impact Protective Garment on Thermophysiological Comfort of the Wearer

In this study one commercially available hip impact protective garment was evaluated in terms of thermo-physiological wear comfort, namely Dry Thermal Resistance, Evaporative Resistance and Permeability Index. Objective evaluation of thermal characteristic of this hip impact protective garment is carried out by means of a Thermal Manikin. The impact protective garment was evaluated in ensemble with other garments.
